Stephenie Meyer's Based Series, Round 3!

Since I only had nine Entries in round two (and 7 in round one) This contest is open to people who have not participated in the previous rounds!!

Round Three:
This round your prompts will be Cullens I will include which Cullens/Pairings you may use and a breif description of them. DO NOT ASK FOR OTHER CHARACTERS THAT IS NEXT ROUNDS (Humans will be round four[ http://allpoetry.com/contest/show/2391753 ] and wolves will be round five [ http://allpoetry.com/contest/show/2391757] )

1- Alice Cullen: "Alice shares many of the physical traits associated with Twilight vampires, such as inhuman beauty, pale skin, golden eyes which deepen to black depending on thirst, and deep, purple shadows under her eyes. She is described as being small, 4'10", with petite, "pixie-like" features. Her hair is described as cropped, spiky, and black. She carries herself with the grace of a dancer when walking, and it is mentioned that with her agility she could make even a ballerina jealous.Alice has enhanced strength and speed due to her vampire status. Though petite, she is a capable fighter due to her agility and speed. Alice carried her human ability to read the future into her vampire life, and uses this to her advantage during battles (as seen in Eclipse) and throughout her day-to-day life. However, Alice's sight is limited: she can only see the outcome of a decision - not the motives behind it. Also, the future is subjective and Alice cannot see it once werewolves become involved, as they are too unpredictable. She describes herself as being "far from infallible", overall." Alice is described as having a 'bubbly' personality and is very enthusiastic

2-Jasper Hale: "Some vampires have extra abilities beyond the norm which is an amplification of an ability they had as a human eg. an intuitive mind could be able to read minds as a vampire. Jasper's extra ability is being able to manipulate the emotions of those around him because of the extraordinary charisma he had as a human. He is also an empath, meaning that he can feel all the emotions of the people who surround him. As all other vampires, he also has super strength and speed, granite hard skin, immortality, and a keen sense of smell and hearing. In Eclipse, during the training Jasper gives the Cullens and Quileutes, it is noted that Jasper was on par with Edward's skills despite Edward's mind reading ability. This is seen during their sparring which only stopped when Carlisle hinted for them to stop suggesting that it could have continued perhaps indefinitely. Jasper could be mistaken for cold because of his highly analytical and military mindset. However, his relationship with Alice displays his warmer side. The fact that he suffered depression after his years in Maria's service suggests a strong sense of conscience and grief over his perceived wrong-doings. When he was human he is described as having been extremely charismatic and therefore as having been extremely likable. It also shows that he is a strong and forceful leader through his rapid ascent through the ranks of the Confederate Army. The fact that he is always a soothing presence shows that he wishes others to feel good and at ease and will do his best to make that occur. Jasper is highly intuitive but also never takes advantage of his miraculous gift which shows he is not a malicious soul as he could manipulate anyone to do as he pleases but he chooses not to. While the Cullens are gone in New Moon (novel), Jasper studies philosophy at Cornell University. In the opening chapter of the yet to be published Midnight Sun Jasper is shown as being deeply ashamed of his urge to drain the life from the humans around him. It also shows that he has what could be described as a lower thirst threshold in that he has trouble controlling his thirst sooner after feeding than the others.Jasper is 6' 3" tall, has golden honey blond hair and is muscular, but lean. Being a vampire, he has extremely pale skin and bruise-like purple shadows under his eyes, and is also extraordinarily good-looking. He has gold eyes, like all animal-feeding vampires, but they turn blacker as he gets thirstier. He has many crescent shaped scars on his arms from the vampire bites he got while fighting for dominance with Maria's coven, but are very difficult to see since they are white on white. Jasper has also been described as 'leonine'."

3-Emmett Cullen:"Emmett is described as being very tall, very burly, and to the students at the high school, very intimidating. Standing at 6'5, he is the tallest of the Cullens, towering over Alice by a few feet. He has a round face with dimples and slightly curly, dark brown hair, giving him a childish look. Like the rest of the Cullens, he has pale skin and golden eyes. His closet consists of jeans, T-shirts, and jackets; the jackets are rarely used, as he does not even register that the air is cold. Because of his height, his pants drag on the floor when on the hanger. He wears flat skate shoes that are just as casual as the rest of his closet."

4-Edward Cullen:"Like all vampires, Edward is described as impossibly handsome, to the point of being almost godlike. His skin is like granite--pale, hard as stone, and ice cold, but perfect and flawless. If he has recently drank, the dark purple circles under his eyes become lighter. In the sunlight, his skin sparkles like millions of diamonds. His eyes change color depending on his level of thirst. They are described as a golden topaz when he is full and gradually darken to black, like onyx, as he becomes thirstier. It takes about two weeks for his eyes to darken from their lightest color to pitch black. However, when Edward Cullen was human his eyes were green. His hair is described as a strange shade of bronze or as auburn, like his human mother's, and is always in "casual disarray". Edward stands at six feet two inches, and he has a slender (yet still quite muscular) build. At various points in the series, Bella compares Edward's good looks to those of Michaelangelo's "David", the Greek god Adonis, or even to "all the Greek gods put into one". Edward, like all vampires, possesses superhuman strength, speed, durability, endurance and agility. Edward is the fastest of the Cullens, easily able to outrun any other vampire. Edward can also read the minds of anyone within a few miles of himself, as a side-effect of his nature (Bella is the one person who is immune to this ability). Other vampires have special talents like Edward's, but not all do. He can also cease breathing when needed, since breathing is not a necessity for vampires. However, Edward has stated that it gets uncomfortable to stop breathing, due to habit, and because it is linked to their sense of smell. Like other vampires in the series, Edward is not harmed by sunlight, but he avoids it since it causes his skin to sparkle. These vampires are incapable of sleeping, and receive nutrients only from blood. He and his family resist the temptation to drink human blood, a vampire's natural food source, choosing instead to drink the blood of animals. Vampires release venom when they bite their prey. If this venom is absorbed into a human's bloodstream, they will undergo the excruciatingly painful process of transforming into a vampire over the course of approximately three days, depending on the location of the bite relative to the heart. When the "heart stops beating", the transformation is complete. When a vampire bites someone, a crescent-shaped scar is left where the person was bitten."

5-Carlisle and/or Esme Cullen:
Carlisle: "Carlisle is described to look like a model, the picture of beauty. He has blond hair, is six foot two inches, and was 23 when he was turned. Carlisle has remained 23 since that day, and looks accordingly. He was described looking like a movie star, and Charlie (Bella's father) said that many nurses could not concentrate on their work while he was around. But as soon as Carlisle was settled and married to Esme, Charlie said that these admirations were quickly hushed in the hospital. Carlisle is slender but muscular.As a result of Carlisle being a vampire, he has many enhanced abilities, such as running at high speeds, incredible strength, and incredible compassion. Carlisle came up with his own theory as to why certain vampires such as Edward, Alice, and Jasper have enhanced abilities: he believes that all people who become vampires bring something from their previous, human life into their new, vampire existence. What he brought into his next life was his compassion.[4] Carlisle is also immortal, and has had centuries to perfect his medicinal talents, therefore making him an excellent doctor. Unlike most vampires, he is not at all tempted by the scent of human blood, due to the over 300 years he has spent holding back his temptations. He also uses the scent of blood to help him in the workplace, often using his "curse" to his advantage."
Esme: "Esme is an extremely warm individual who is gifted with the ability to love passionately. She is described as being 5'6", with caramel colored hair. She also has gold/black eyes, pale skin that sparkles in the sunlight, and purple circles under her eyes like the rest of the Cullens. However, these fade when she is well-fed. She has a heart-shaped face and her figure is described as being slender but rounded. When Bella first meets Esme, she says that Esme reminds her of Snow White. Bella also describes her as being similar to "one of the ingenues of the silent movie era." She has always had a maternal ache in her, which is why she is able to open her heart to her adoptive children and Bella."

    Lone-Fairrie--

    Sounds like fun! I will be sure to enter. You might want to hold me to that, as I easily forget........ ^.^ I have had a Twilight Contest before, and not many people seemed interested.... like maybe fifteen? Anyway, it's great that you are holding this contest for people that haven't read Twilight [although I have, and loved it!!!]. Wait.... so we can write a poem about any vampiric member of the Cullen family - excluding Rosalie? Do we have to talk about our "selected Cullen" by themself, or can we talk about them with someone else? Like, for instance, the relationship between Carlisle and Edward?

      I guess I probably didn't see your contest or I would have entered. It would seem you could write about any member excluding Rosalie. I just would not be as impressed by Rosalie but If someone could make me understand her better they might win. You do not have to write about the cullen by themself. Just in general. take it where you will. I only did it so everyone cous understand and enter because I hate contest only for a certain type of people like everyone should be able to enter even if they haven't read the book, maybe it will make them think about picking up the book eh? Check out rounds four and five, they are up now too.

    This round looks like fun! I have one question, though – does it have to be clearly *about* a Cullen, or can it be inspired by the qualities of one of them, and only vaguely related?

    ...I'm going to have such a hard time choosing one to write about either way. =D

      It can be as closely or as vaguely related as you wish your poem to be. If you don't know if your connection is clear put it in your author notes.
